The “Japan Parking Database” is designed to accelerate next‑generation business initiatives. This dataset isn’t just a list of locations — it covers a wide range of POIs (Points of Interest), from off‑street hourly parking lots to on‑street parking meters. Along with latitude and longitude information based on the global standard WGS84 geodetic system, the database includes detailed attributes such as capacity, presence of roofing, credit card acceptance, and time‑based fees.
Use Cases
This database’s rich attribute set can be applied across multiple industries and scenarios:
Navigation & Map Apps
- Enhance destination search accuracy with high‑precision WGS84 coordinates and facility names.
- Support optimal routing based on parking type (e.g., multi‑story, underground, mechanical) and vehicle height restrictions.
Logistics & Delivery Optimization
- Identify suitable loading/unloading parking options around commercial facilities, hotels, etc., using category information.
Marketing & Real Estate Analysis
- Use capacity and fee data to analyze local fee trends and support store performance or property valuation.
- Visualize operator presence to inform competitive research and new site strategy.
EV‑Related Services
- Extract locations with EV charging to build EV‑focused guidance tools or services.
FinTech & Cashless Payments
- Leverage data on supported card brands (e.g., VISA, Mastercard, JCB) and accepted payment methods (coins, bills, etc.) to support cashless strategy and app integration.
